Someone Stole My Summer

The fruit is rotting in the orchard

The grass is yellowing in the rain

The days are shorter than they once were

Someone stole my summer again

Morning dew that doesn’t dry

Leaves a silk trail on the pane

Hours that flew, now they just fly

Someone stole my summer again

Grains are shivering in the meadow

Bowing to the August gales

The days are colder than they once were

Someone stole my summer again

Evening mist that closes in

Dense and heavy in the lanes

Birds that flew, now they just fly

Someone stole my summer again
